No1 likes 2 talk about this but hear me out:

Have u ever been daydreaming about Prince, or merely listening 2 his song and u inevitably start 2 think "What if..." or "What would it b like if.."It's not really a question of "if" cuz we all gotta go, but...somehow it seems strange 2 think of P as...u know- dead. sad I can't even say the word. disbelief

So here I'd like 2 talk about it openly. What do u think will b ur reaction when u hear the news? Will u cry? Will u not cry at first but cry later? Will u cry at all? cry

This is not 2 b morbid or make it seem like trivia, I just wanna know. I would probably b very shocked at first, then deny it 2 myself. Then I'd probably cry weeks later, cuz it usually takes a while 4 me 2 do that.

I remember when I first became a fan and I was 10, I made a promise 2 myself that I would meet him one day. The age difference worried me, cuz I knew he'd b much older than me when he was old and I wanted 2 meet him, just by myself 4 a few moments. That was my little goal and it still is my hope. pray What about u?

Do u think that P will still have unreleased material when it happens? Do u think he will have it laid out in writing somewhere how he wants it 2 b released, if there is stuff left? I think he would.

Do u think his ___ would get a lot of media coverage? I have a feeling that P will become very huge when it happens, which is 2 bad. He'll probably b ignored 4 the next few years. But then slowly people will discover his greatness. It'll take a while tho'.

Being that he is a human being, he probably has thought about it, as we all do, but he probably doesnt let it stay in his mind 4 long. He probably would say "Well I have more music 2 put out now, can't b thinking about that." At least, that's what I'd like 2 think.

God, I love him. love biggrin

=== Why is everyone bringing up this morbid subject at this particular time hmmm? maybe its bcuz (at least 4 me), i am WORRIED that some weirdos out there might go too far with what is taking place...i hope and pray this NEVER happens. i think prince needs 2 step up his security. he is too blaise' sometimes, probobly bcuz he feels he's protected by God. he feels safe. God can only protect us so much... i dont care if he'd b the most popular musician in the history of music, or that those "long awaited" melodies from his vault would finally come forth and please all the so called fans that keep harping at him to release them, NOTHING COMPARES 2 PRINCE! being here on earth! i've had lots of losses in my life and one quite recently, and if something happened to him now I would be in bad shape!!! prince just recently helped me change my life (not directly), and i owe him alot! someday i may b able to do something nice 4 HIM and i EXPECT him to b ALIVE when i do. (no, not sex!) so, he's not going anywhere! dont even go there with these depressing threads!
May the BELLS ring 4 U even when ur not in love. hug kisses

Like I said from the beginning if this ever happens I really won't bearound to worry about his music being catologed. Also,in the beginning of the joining of this site I said I could envision his fans all committing Mass Suicide at his Gravesight or outside his Home . But I'm not in anyway Advocating Suicide. Look what some fans did over Kurt Cobain,Lennon,Elvis. Listen these are my views and I am very far-out in my views and Respect for Prince. What can I say. It's me and the way I feel; please don't Crucify me for Loving Prince. I think he's wonderful and I always will. I wish him God's love and Protection always.

Ya know what? You and/or some of us may go before he does. You ever think of that? Age is not always a factor. You ever think of that? I knew a woman who used to say she didn't think Michael Jackson would live long (this was back in the 80s). I asked her why. She just said he didn't seem like the type of person that would have a long life. You know what? The woman was hit by a car and died 7 years ago...

Proselytize: To convert (a person) from one belief, doctrine, cause, or faith to another.

People shouldn't use big words just to look smart, when they really don't know the meanings of them.

I don't believe that Supernova was trying to CONVERT you. He was expressing his own opinion on the matter, which you obviously can't accept because it differs from your own!

I can't help it.It's THIS kind of talk that makes people worry about you.He is not GOD he is just a MAN who makes music.He doesn't cure cancer,he hasn't invented anything other than music which is nice,but it doesn't SAVE LIVES.
I just think you are more importantto the world than just following a singer to his grave.He is no better than you.Do you think Prince would want to die if you died???

This kinda was brought up by me awhile ago...I always say to the people who always complain abot everything he does and how he should do this and that...

Well U should be delirious RIGHT NOW.
Because when this "ride" is truly over
U won't have enough tears to feel better.


now y'd u have 2 go and say that 4 luv?
that struck me n the pit of my soul...


If you drop in on certain newsgroups, such as the Hendrix or Queen newsgroups, fans are still there and still posting, but there's an underlying vibe of sadness about it all.

Jimi Hendrix and Freddie Mercury passed away years ago. Their fans keep hanging in there, waiting for any morsel of news, new releases to be uncovered, talking about concerts they attended 20 years ago.

It's the same in the hip hop newsgroups whenever someone posts about Tupac. There's long threads from fans who love Tupac and really sincerely miss him and others who refuse to believe he's passed away.

During Elvis week, the networks always show the fans who make pilgrimages to Graceland and stand at Elvis's grave sobbing their hearts out knowing that they will never be able to go to see Elvis in concert again.

Prince fans are very fortunate in that Prince has created an incredible body of work that will stand the test of time. He is still very much here and creating, he tours, you can speak to him, etc. Be grateful for that and appreciate him.

Thanks for caring about me and I don't care even if Prince didn't want me to kill myself. I'd just feel to sad and I wouldn't want him or anybody try to make me not like him or anything cause I wouldn't feel Happy knowing he was gone. That's just the way it is and always will be. Once he goes well it's the Poison Brew for me.

Either you know the point and don't want to acknowledge it, or you're not as bright as you want everybody to believe. Which is very conceivable. Stop projecting.

Hmmm... no, I have never thought about Prince dying or what I would do when he does. I do think, at times, about those that I love dying and how I will react to their not being there beside me any more.

But, now that you have me thinking about it, when he does pass on, I will feel a moment of sadness as I do when hearing about anyone dying... famous or not. The sadness doesn't really come from them being gone, those that I don't know, but more my thinking of what happened to cause them to pass. I won't cry, because I don't know him. His passing will certianly be a great loss... as it is every second of every day when somone dies.

I do wonder if his family, and those close to him, spend much time thinking about this. I wonder this because this topic has been brought up many times through the years, and it's somewhat strange to me that people who don't know him personally would be affected so much by his passing. What is it? The way his music has touched you? The thought that there is a connection with him and you? (I am not speaking to you personally Nep... just in general.) I have known many girls who think that they are destined to be with him. So what is it exactly that makes people feel so strongly about him? So much so that they would be affected so greatly by his death? Kind of strange... it's sort of like an "Elvis" thing...

BTW, I am not saying that there is anything wrong with anyone being hurt by his death... I am just curious as to why so much... that's all.

I've always had a good vocabulary. At least, it's better than the majority of 18 year olds I know. When I learn a new word I use it. Last time I checked that was a good thing. And the word I used was exactly that word I was looking 4, thank u very much.


Stop trying 2 preach the virtues of ignorance.

I figure that if he dies naturally it may even be when I'm in my 60's. I became a fan when I was 10, so that means that I would have spent a LOT of time listening 2 his voice, reading his words, and supporting his music. That's alot of time and money 2 spend some1 u dont know. nod

2 u, it may seem strange 2 cry. But U feel like u know some1, like u have a connection through enjoying this music that seemingly no1 else likes. Not a lot of people in my city like Prince. Let alone trying 2 find someone who is 18 or 19 that likes Prince. disbelief

People cried when JFK was shot. This man cheated on his wife and was a real asshole in private, yet they mourned him because he was a familiar face. Im not going 2 compare Prince with a President but--well, maybe I am. After all I think nowadays singers have more influence on people than the President. rolleyes Singers shape the culture and Prince has slightly changed the way I look at things. if I like u, Illprobably cry when ur dead. It's simple as that and I not only like but love Prince so I know what my reaction will be when the time comes. nod

How is that preaching? He was relating a personal story, which supported his opinion on the issue -- and he wasn't trying to shove it down your throat, or anyone else's.

God, you're dense.

No, SHE wasn't preaching. This is where you mistake YOUR preaching about YOUR religion in religious threads around here for someone else's opinion. There's not a shred of preaching in any of my remarks in this thread. The fact that you think otherwise is a saving face tactic, and doesn't reflect well on your supposed intellect.

I've thought about it before. I hope it doesn't happen any time soon. If it were to happen, I'd be sad but eventually I'll get over it. My life doesn't revolve around anyone but God and as long as He keeps me here that'll be reason enough to make it through any day. Instead of focusing on death, focus on what here now. Prince has given us a lot and they'll be more. Live 4 Love 2day!
I'm not a fan of "old Prince". I'm not a fan of "new Prince". I'm just a fan of Prince. Simple as that
